Free Music Notes for Samsara (Original Soundtrack)
Free Music Review: A lovely score that works well apart from the film
Hit: 5 Stars
Like the film for which it is written, French composer Cyril Morin's score to Samsara is delicate and beautiful, a subtle aural companion to a story of love and the search for truth. It was Morin's first score for a major feature film, the one that took his career to the next stage after many years composing for European television. Coincidentally, Morin wrote his first score for short film, 1991's Khajuraho, for Indian director Pan Nalin, who 10 years later commissioned the score for Samsara, which was also Nalin's first directorial feature.
Together the two crafted something quite amazing, a Buddhist love story about a monk named Tashi, who leaves the order for Pema, a village girl with whom he settles down to raise a family, only to discover years later that perhaps he should have stayed in the monastery. Titled after the Buddhist word for the world in which we live, the world of the physical and the sensual, Samsara is the story of how we all struggle for enlightenment.
Filmed in India's northeastern Buddhist region of Ladak, the score features many of the sounds and instruments native to that region, including chanting, Tibetan bowls, bansuri, duduk, ney, and Mongolian and Tibetan violins woven into and accentuating the orchestral work, performed here by the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra. Morin's Samsara is one of those unique soundtracks that could exist on its own quite apart from the film for which it was written, a lovely score that rewards close listening, or which can be played unobtrusively in the background.
